The Co-operative Bank has renewed an IT services contract with Steria, as it continues on a £700 million transformation programme.
The bank said the all-encompassing deal - for which a value has not been disclosed - will now run until 2014. The original agreement was signed in 1995, and is aimed at cutting costs and improving processes.
Jim Slack, IT operations and development head at Co-operative Banking Group, said the contract had so far delivered "many successful business-critical projects and services, including a number of highly strategic undertakings".
Steria will continue to work on the bank's transformation programme, in which Co-operative is improving processes and developing better mobile and web channels. It is running projects under the PRINCE2 methodology.
The Co-operative is installing a centralised Teradata data warehouse platform as part of the programme, in order to integrate credit risk and accounting data into one data warehouse environment.
The first part of the programme - the replacement of its core banking and business intelligence systems - has been delivered to corporate users.

payday loans said: Not everyone is feckless Some people genuinely struggle to have even a reasonable Christmas especially those on minimum wages or recently redundant who are trying to improve their lot So full marks to Smile for trying to help maybe other banks will follow and make their charges more reasonable too I also note the Smile offer is for those who have agreed their overdraft before going over I would hardly call that being feckless IMHO Smile are fair and reasonable but for savings I simply look else where
